The five cousins, who range in age from 4 to 15, were stung while playing outside in some woods near a home

Five children, four boys and a girl ranging in age from about 4 to 15, were taken to Munroe Regional Medical Center with yellowjacket stings Tuesday afternoon.

The National Park Service provides this information:

Yellowjackets are small yellow-and-black-banded wasps that build nests in the ground or paper-like nests in trees. The colony will reach maximum size in late summer. Worker yellow-jackets are common around picnic areas where they forage for food.

In most people, a yellowjacket sting produces an immediate pain at the site of the sting. There will be localized reddening, swelling, and itching. Ice or analgesic creams often relieve the symptoms.

Some people experience an allergic reaction to yellowjacket venom. Allergic (anaphylactic) shock can be fatal if untreated.
